Hi all,

I often forget to turn off the lights of my cerbera. Driving daily in a car that turns them on and off automatically, I never get used to turning them off without a reminder.
My '81 alfa gt 6 has a reminder buzzer built in. Anyone did this with their cerbera in an elegant way?

Yep I have a £5 europarts one fitted. Absolutely perfect... a tiny device and invisible to the eye as it's mounted in dash.

Any chance of a link or part number/reference to said tiny and invisible device to help out those amongst us without telepathy please?

In this situation telepathy wasn't needed at all... just initiative. Amazing what google can bring up

Yes, Googling brings up close to hundreds, if not thousands, of buzzers, none of which come with a personal recommendation - also of note, the one you've linked doesn't mention Europarts so how would I ever have found it? You were helpful enough to let the OP know you had a good one, so why not also link to what it was to help him (and me for that matter) out?

Yes it does... (shown by the link to Maplins by another helper). These things are often subjective as he stated it seems expensive. The one i linked is identical to one I have (which came in eurocar parts packaging but was made by Carpoint).

Here is a carpoint branded item:

You will also note that there will be many identical offerings cheaper so where you ultimately go is up to you. Mines been fitted a while and is great and I'd have always sent a link (as I have) if 'more' guidance was wanted as it seems it is. The moral is simple a question was made, suggestion given. further probing (required or not) didn't need to be sarky but was so don't shoot if you don't expect shots in return. I can be incredibly facetious when warranted and I believe it was. wink
